The moral theory that best describes the first version is “Deontology”. It is the most appropriate interpretation because deontology is non-consequentialist. Moral conduct follows duties or obligations. The moral principles are completely separated from any consequences. Consequences are not clearly thought out nor are the primary focus of the rules. There are a lot of situations that the first version would not be a decent fit for regular life. An illustration of one of those situations is if somebody's
